This book stars a smarmy salesman, pictured with a teeny-tiny pompadour and an avocado-mustard-orange plaid suit. His mission? To sell Have I Got A Book for You! As a last-ditch effort, he points to the final page, which comes with a torn corner, and delivers his parting shot: "You break it, you buy it!!!" A clever work of metafiction.
